It took me five!I also got wordle in two this morning.
Well as I tell myself in situations like this, it is a pass/fail game. You don't win more points by using fewer guesses.

Wife and I always marvel at how we lived for 1.5 years with 3 dogs in 100 sqft quarters. Amazing how little space you need when your lifestyle is designed for it.
I always tell her I could get along just fine with 800 sqft of well planned living space. So long as it has 2000 sqft of shop space attached.
samesies. need to tackle the garage this weekend, as the 13yo is getting a bunch of weightlifting stuff that will go out there...
Feeling overwhelmed with clutter. Time to determine what should get sold, organized, or burned.
howdy peoples
WFH today and tomorrow. dropped off my Baby Aya via the cargo bike and shall pick her via the same. and maybe also make a Costco run on said cargo bike at mid day if I'm caught up on my personal work list.
tomorrow will be a car-type day, as we're going from 70F yesterday to snowstorm tomorrow, because Denver.

Same, girl. Same.
I could be wrong, but I think it involves poaching some hiking trails.
I'd just follow @jstuhlman down into some leaf filled crevasse.

Back from a week off work and I forgot how much I hate coming back to a full in box of email.
Managed to go see the second to the last Skinny Puppy concert ever on Monday. My good friend is their guitarist and I had never seen him perform with them so I had to get to that show.
Lots of stuff rattling around in the brain these days. Scrolled through my phone looking for someone to talk to about certain “stuff” and felt like I couldn’t find the right person for that variety of “stuff.” It was only a little depressing, but I managed to hold off on fixing it with retail therapy. Though I might buy expensive shit today.

is this stuff hanging yourself from meathooks or what
I wish. I’d love to hang again but the risk of autonomic dysreflexia triggering a stroke on top of already being partially paralyzed has kept my feet on the ground.
This stuff is more “what does it all mean?” kind of stuff. Midlife existential nonsense.
Ookaaay…
None of it means anything and 100 years after you die, nobody will remember you. There is no afterlife, only darkness.
Hope that helps!
They brought carol singers into the office yesterday for ours. I'm trying to conduct meetings and stuff and there's a trio in the cube farm laying down some holiday classics. It was wild.
totally. I forget it sometimes.

Dayum - looks like I should knock off early and go sit on a patio and drink some beer:
Thankfully her BFF's mom, who we've known since they were 2mos old, is a psychiatrist. We have her as a reference point for long-term.
Hot damn got another interview lined up so I am now in the running for two jobs. Both are ecom management jobs but both look like way more interesting roles than my previous job. Now I just need to get some bid on the house and it will really feel like Christmas.
Oh for sure. I wasn't implying that they're worthless or Stoney doesn't know what he's doing. It's just that care is needed in interpreting the results. What really got me was when they said (about my boy) "scores extremely low on the attention tests, and scores extremely low on the impulse control and distraction tests. We can't rule out developmental or intellectual deficiencies". It was the second part that drove me nuts... because no matter what you do, or what meds we gave them, nothing is going help if the cause is an intellectual deficiency. Apparently there isn't enough data to make a diagnosis there until at least grade 3, and better yet in grade 4. So with an early diagnosis, if the usual interventions don't work, you get to spend 6 years wondering what the fuck more you can do to help your kid, what the best course of action is, and whether you're barking up the wrong tree. At least that's been my experience...
For a solid two years we fought to get my son more resources at school, and not placed with a shit teacher. We lost those fights, except to get him placed in a school that has a program for kids with learning disabilities (basically, the school just washed their hands of him. If I could choke the principal I would. She is a cunt who doesn't care about the kids, she was focused more on the administrative burden of managing her teachers...). Anyways... he's in grade 5 in his new school now, though he's learning at a grade 3 level. There's 7 kids, a teacher and an assistant, so it's a really good ratio. He seems to be doing much better - when he went in, he was a grade 2 level, and in three months he's already caught up a whole year, and might jump to the 4th grade curriculum this winter.
Anyways, my only point is if conventional treatments don't work, the tests for ADHD at such a young age aren't necessarily as helpful as a parent would hope... again, if conventional treatments don't work.
Afternoon. HS Concert is tonight. My groups sounded good in dress rehearsal so hopefully they keep that energy for tonight.
Sounds like Yancey.I could be wrong, but I think it involves poaching some hiking trails.
I'd just follow @jstuhlman down into some leaf filled crevasse.
Yancey is a good basic loop that starts and ends almost directly at ol' Derek's house. It did indeed end in a leaf filled crevasse until they rerouted the last but a few years ago into a fly snoozefest. If you know where to go you can still hit the old end.
Another good one is 21 jumps/schoolhouse. If you're feeling froggy you can tack a trail called woodruff onto the beginning or end of that. @canadmos is thinking of an offshoot of big lost cove cliffs for the leafy chute, which is indeed off of a hiking only trail.
Lots more options up there depending on how your friends' legs are and/or if they want to shuttle. Most of it is at least on maps nowadays. Feel free to holler for more info if you want.
We're lucky that Hannah is already testing ahead of grade level in every subject. When she is focused on something, her performance is best in class. I had been working with her teacher since before school started, letting her know that she very likely has ADHD, and she has been working with Hannah to keep her focused. She gets a new fidget every morning, has Velcro stuck under her desk to keep her tactile distracted, etc. She has also been working with the school psych 2x/week specifically about controlling her patience/temper/impulse control, and she's been really good about it - until yesterday.
This is all part of what made the consequence far less than it could have been. They all knew that she shows every ADHD symptom possible and has impulse control around emotional response.
i've seen fights break out over jenga before. at least she's not playing settlers of catan.
